The most upsetting part for me is knowing how unhappy he was and that he never found peace
The questions I had will never be answered. The answers I wanted will never be given.
It took so much for me to share our shameful secret, I thought they could just talk to my dad and it would all improve.
I felt isolated, lonely, that I didn’t matter, and that life had to be better than this.
I don’t ever remember thinking that my dad was an alcoholic. I thought he was like everyone else’s dad.
I wish I had the words to say how scared I was to come home everyday.
‘When you pick up the phone, it’s not going to your boss, it’s not going to your mate. No one’s gonna laugh at you.’
All I wanted was some normality, to not be scared to come home from school.
I feel guilty for feeling it and give myself a 1000 reasons not to be happy.
Broken promises and failed hopes drift out the windows. We are broken.
